Bobby Womack – “Please Forgive My Heart”

Before being featured in Gorillaz’ album Plastic Beach in 2010, R&B legend Bobby Womack had not been in the studio since releasing his Christmas Album in 2000. His last full-length original album was released in 1994.

“Please Forgive My Heart” is the first single off Womack’s forthcoming album The Bravest Man in the Universe. The entire album is produced by Damon Albarn, the musical genius behind Gorillaz, and XL Records founder Richard Russell. The track does a great job putting Womack’s powerful vocals front and center, surrounding them with a smooth minimal electronic beat.
